Zuccardi Aluvional Gualtallary Malbec 2021

Description Zuccardi Aluvional Gualtallary Malbec 2021 is a wine born at the foothills of the Cordón del Plata within the area known as “Monasterio” in Gualtallary, at 1,360 m above sea level. This corner of the Uco Valley is a true high-altitude desert, with unique calcareous soils, steep slopes, and a wild environment that shapes the distinctive character of this Malbec. "Deep red in color with violet hues, it opens on the nose with exceptional aromatic intensity: floral notes, black fruits, and mineral tones that evoke its calcareous soils. On the palate, it shows great texture and structure, with firm yet refined tannins, precise acidity, and a long, vibrant finish. A wine that transparently translates the identity of the Gualtallary terroir."
